It seems Converge is making another import switch.
The FiberXers are bringing in American import Travin Thibodeaux as a possible replacement for Jamaal Franklin.
Franklin, in his second stint with Converge, is averaging 27.33 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, but the FiberXers have lost all three of their games with him as their import.
The FiberXers are currently in the midst of a four-game losing streak that dropped them to 3-4, tied for fourth with the Terrafirma Dyip in Group A of the 2026 PBA Governors’ Cup.
Now, they will try to regain their footing with Thibodeaux.
Thibodeaux, a product of Division I school University of New Orleans, went undrafted in the 2018 NBA Draft but played for G League squad Fort Wayne in his first two years after college.
He would then ply his trade overseas, playing in Ukraine, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Bahrain, and Lebanon.
Thibodeaux last played for Borneo in the IBL, averaging 25.19 points, 9.34 rebounds, and 4.94 assists per game.
He won the Bahrain Basketball League titles with Al Manama in 2023 and 2024 before leading Borneo to the IBL title last year — taking the Finals MVP honor.
Though listed by FIBA at 6-foot-7, he was measured at 6-foot-5 by the IBL.
He will undergo his official height measurement on Saturday.
If he passes, Thibodeaux will be Converge’s third import this conference after Jalen Hudson and Franklin.
Converge’s next game will be on Tuesday against Terrafirma at Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
